FAVORS AT DINNERS.
New and Grotesque Ornaments all
the Rage this Season,

NEW YORK, March 26.-Favors at din
ners this season have been most costly
and elegant, no expense, apparently, being
spared by ambitious housekeepers TO have
something on their tables that has not
been seen anywhere else; and the more
eccentric or grotesque the form in which
their desire shows itself the more salts
factory doubtless il is to the mind of the
originator. Whether display of this sort
be In questionable taste or not is a sub
ject open to discussion. At dinner given
In this city few weeks ago, satin banjos,
eXqulsitely hand-painted in water colors
and mounted in solid silver, were placed
beside the cOrsage bouquet at each lady's
plate. Silver toilet articles, desk imple-
ments and cat collars continue to be the
rage. The dressing bureau that does not
exhibit at least half a dozen pieces artisti-
cally spread out upon a cover of plush.
generally deep red or sapphire blue, is
decidedly behind the times. The plush
also must be lined with yellow surah,
filled with violet sachet powder-no COM
mon rose or patchouly-and edged with
lace. Imitation in any form is Justly con-
sidered vulgar, hence silver plate and
German silver take their place beside
French gold and Partisan diamonds. The
silver brushes, combs, trays and boxes in
beautiful repousse designs certainly make
an effective foreground to a woman's
toilet mirror, but they are exceedingly
costly and are troublesome to keep clean.
One of the latest pieces manufactured by
leading New York firm is mucIlaqe
bottle destined TO be added to the para.
phernalla OF fashionable writing desk.
The bottle is OF glass, pear shaped, the
stem of silver with two pendent leaves
forming the cover TO which the brush
is attached. The bottle stands upon a
tiny silver dish, and the whole can be pur.
chased Tor the modest sum OF $40.

The work on the buildings and grounds
OF the American Exhibition is being
pushed with even greater energy as the
time for opening draws near. 1 visited
tue grounds OF the Wild West one day
this week, and was astonlshed TO find
them nearly completed, although IL will
be over month before Buffalo BIZ and
his cohorts invade London. The oowall
for the buffaloes was completed and paint
ed, the extensive stables completed and
receiving their Interior fittings, and the
enormous grand stand progressing rap
idly, the heavy framing being in process
OF covering. All the fences are up, and
the track and encampment laid out and
sodded. The gardens are also in very
forward state, and the main building is
growing under the hands OF nearly 700
men, roofing, flooring, and putting the
iron sides on simultaneously. The Dliec.

,1up pUyCTJoyS OF OPPOSITION

An amusing feature Of the present political
situation is furnished by some of our Demo
cratic and Mugwump contemporaries, VINO,
finding themelves in sad straits to manufact-
ure cxcuses and defences for the PresidcnGy
shortcomings, appear to have given up the
task n, bad one, and have now fallen TO
lamenting over the "ghoulish glee,' so to
speak, of the Republican press which has
Thus driven the Administration to the wall.
They don't think it is fair, and they appeal to
the public's sympathies against such constant
and vigorous criticism. The conduct OF tho
Republican press must be considered in the
light of its obligations. 1t Is the medium
of Republican sentiment, and as such it be-
comes an active element Of the Opposition.
DESPITE the fact that under our form OF gov
ernmcnt opposition is high and patriotic
duty scarcely less important to the public
veal than administration. its functions are
not so generally understood as they should
be. Our Government is conducted through
partisan organizations They arc expected
to frame policies, and to invite public con-
fidence upon certain well-dcfned under
standing as to what they will do If they are
intrusted with power. The adoption by the
people of one policy does not necessarily
mean the rejection of the other. Every new
Administration is an experiment. In grant
ing it the authority of government the people
merely say that thew are favorably impressed
with its promises and are disposed to test the
results of its policy.
Naturally, therefore, the minority's respon-
sibiIity does not end with the majoritys en-
trance to office We're that the case popular
government would soon be infected with the
dry rot. To the minority is intrusted tho
functions of opposition and as only through
an active, sincere partisanship is it possible
to maintain the peoples Iii critics uninpalrcd,
so tho minority would be false to its duty IL
it failed to expose the blundcrs and fallacies
of the governing party. Its serious business
is to inquire into and examine the purposes
Of the Government and the methods by
which it seeks to carry them out. IL toe
Administration fails t. redeem its pledges,
the Opposition should be ready with lash
and taunt to drive it W its duty If the
Administration conduct betrays an unworthy
motive, the Opposition should hunt 1t out
and uncover il to the people. The evil con-
sequences of its acts should be traced home
to the Government and its failures exhibited
in the light of its duties and it, Oppo tlnities.
These are the functions of opposition, and 1t
will be bad day for the country when the
elements of opposition cease lcalousiy 10
guard its interests.
